...667(a) for purposes of enhacing? the defendant's sentence. At least that's what the dept of corrections is alleging and is asking the Court to reconsider all sentencing choices per People v. Hill
I'm referring to Penal Code 667(a) the letter to the trial judge reads "The abstract of Judgment and the Minute order reflect Penal code Sec. 667(a) stricken. Purusant to PC 1385(b) This section does not authorize a judge to strike any prior conviction ofa serious felony for purposes of enhancement of a sentence under Section 667" what does this mean to the defendant who is almost done servig a sentence?
 
If the court made a mistake that made the sentence illegal, it is obliged to correct it.

Nobody here has a clue what section 667(a) is, or what People v. Hill is. There are probably at least a thousand cases called "People v. Hill" in the United States, and at least as many "section 667(a)"s.

If the enhanced sentencing results in the third serious felony, a defendant is eligible for a life sentence under the "three Strikes Rule".
